We need more info, what are you trying to do? Either way my answer is just get the right wheels.

Neither could I. I ended up with a repair bill that costed almost 2x as much as wheels lol.





Sometimes the cheapest route costs more than the right route.

I'm torn on them. I ran them on my old truck and nearly lost a wheel. But I wasn't cbecking them enough. I'm one for saving the money for the right part.

Look into bora spacer if you want to get them. If you buy ebay brand then you will have a bad time.

JP, what makes the Bora brand better? Hub vs. lug-centric? Im not a huge fan of spacers, I guess I have seen and heard too many horror stories... But I do not like how close in my wheels/tires sit to the wells, and my wheels (Moto Metal 961's) are not offered in anything other than a 0 offset at an 18" wheel, I can get a -24 offset but I have to bump to 20's.

How am I supposed to tell you how big you want them? **** it go for a custom 4" billet spacers. Or go for 1" spacers. What size you want you should know. How far out more do you want your wheels until they fall off?

All joking aside all in all you will hear mixed opinions.

I had 2" hub centric spacers on both my 1997 silverado and my 2002 superduty. Never had a problem with either of them. I towed with both vehicles and still no issues. 2" wider stance on each wheel will make any truck look better IMO
